Property Reviews

Irish Beach great, this property badReviewed by: A guest does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in April, 2015 The area and amazing private beach were spectacular. This property is run down, shabby and leaves much to be desired. Although very clean. One person in our party said it reminded her of her's college frat house.

Great Spring retreat!Reviewed by: Tim H. recommends this property.
Stayed for 8 days in March, 2015 Comfortable unit, great weather

Stayed for 12 days in November, 2014 Okay, needs a little up keep.my employee fell though the steps. Emailed issue. They fixed it. Buy formal fallow up. My employee was on light duty for 2 days, because of the fall. No free stay offered to him for good faith. I have pictures if anyone wants to fallow up.

Review of Bellview Rental in Irish BeachAaron Y. from Brooklyn, NY recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2014 Rented Bellview to spend time with my parents and my son. The positives: great location in Irish Beach, wonderful view of the ocean, two lovely decks, hot tub worked well, fireplace was nice, beds were fine. The negatives: not a well maintained house, pots and pans almost unusable, many lights did not work, we had to buy a brush to clean the filthy grill, glass sliding door always came off the track when opened, kitchen window nailed shut.

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Hi Aaron,Thank you for taking the time to leave us some great Renter Comments. We will be certain to pass along your concerns to the home owner. Happy Days, Kim

BellviewCurt H. from Santa Rosa, California does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2014 The house was poorly maintained. The hot tub was in an inconvenient location as were the washer and dryer. TV's did not function well. Outside water valves were leaking. Garbage cans were overflowing when we arrived and litter was scattered around carport and driveway.

Summer vacation!Nabil A. from San Francisco, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 5 days in July, 2014 We have been visiting Irish Beach for years now and every summer we look forward to spend time at this amazing place. It's a relaxing place and a great way to spend with family and friends. We can't wait for our visit next summer.

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Hi Nabil, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. Always much appreciated. We look forward to your next visit. Happy Days, Kim

RETURNING GUEST TO IRISH BEACHA guest from Upper Lake, CA. does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 2 days in June, 2014 Gordon and staff always the greatest!!! The owners need to replace all the broken deck furniture, all but 1 piece was good. The deck tables were so filthy and full of sap. The dishes in the cupboards are full of grease, I had to go and buy pans? The light above the dinner table so greasy, it might shine if it was clean. Needs TLC, by the owners!! Know it's for sale, but if you are going to list as a rental make it a livable rental. Upper Lake Guest

Great WeekTim H. from Chico, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 8 days in March, 2014 Beautiful weather, great views, hot tub a plus

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Awww, what can we say about this family? We love the Heck Fam-bam!! Especially since both Tim and I are college basketball fans. Poor Cal Poly Mustangs :-( We anxiously await your next visit to the Coast. Happy Days, Kim

Nice place with a great herd of deer.Michaels G. from Sacramento, CA. recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in January, 2014 Good house to stay at for up to six. After the fees is about 200 a night. Would rent this place again. Mike

rental review and Irish Beach visit experienceA guest from Sacramento, California does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in December, 2013 Great staff and assistance from Barbara, Kim and Gordon. Loved the location but the house definitely needs love and care! Not sure we would recommend this particular house but your agency and location with other rental options definitely yes. The beach was beautiful and a quiet, peaceful community. Thank you and hope to see you again in the future.

Holiday getawayJennifer R. from Santa Rosa, CA. recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in December, 2013 This is our second time staying @ Irish Beach. We love the area and the small friendly feel of the community. This was our 1st time staying @ Bell View, it is older and a bit worn in places but we really liked the layout. It had the feel of a Tahoe cabin.Our youngest son had the loft area to himself and there was a bedroom on the same level. This made it convenient for us as a family. We were pleasantly surprised at the ocean view, even though the house was farther away. We also liked the 2 decks, especially the upper deck with the hot tub. We would stay here again.

beautiful view, but mouse problemA guest from Bountiful, UT does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in December, 2013 Aside from the mouse pellets that were in all the rooms and in all the dishes, we had a good time. The view was beautiful. The hot tub was an added bonus that we loved sitting in all while listening to the waves crashing from the ocean.

Okay for priceA guest from Sacramento, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2013 The house was quaint. Towel racks had been pulled from wall and were carefully placed to look as though they were properly affixed, but if you touch them, they fall right off. Missing screens and screen door so when we arrived, the house was stuffy, but couldn't open all the windows and doors to let the breeze in.

August 2013James M. from Ukiah, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2013 Everything is there, but looking and feeling somewhat rundown. The deck nails should be replaced by ceramic screws for safety purposes. The hot tub should be screened from the roadway and a door to the upstairs installed. The $150 per night price is ok, but tacking on $200 in fees makes Bellview less attractive for the price.

Nice alternativeDonna S. from Citrus Heights, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in June, 2013 could use directions on how to use was in Spanish and took some doing to figure it out. Unpleasant odor in the downstairs bathroom sink area. Beds comfortable

Somewhat disappointedA guest from Oakland, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 2 days in June, 2013 While the house was superficially clean, it was dusty in places, the kitchen stove was a bit dirty and kitchen was overall shabby. Your reviews said there was a new charcoal grill and a gas grill both of which were false. The rusty old grill was not usable and is cerainly cheap enough to replace. The place needs a facelift. I think it's expensive for what you deliver. The location & view were very good and somewhat redeeming but I was somewhat disappointed after reading the reviews. I can only guess that it has deteriorated over time.

Good Times!A guest from Citrus Heights, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in June, 2013 This is the place to go for peace and quiet and to get away from it all! The best part is you can bring your dog!

the perfect getawayTim H. from Chico, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in March, 2013 Bell View is an ideal property for a quick stay, the upstairs TV loft makes it very convenient when separating adults from others, the split decks and spa are a definite plus in sunny weather, the wood fire was welcome on cold mornings and cool evenings.

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Hi Tim and Jennifer! You know you are adored by this Office Staff!!!! See ya next time. Hugs! Kim

Needs some workBruce M. from Elk Grove, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in March, 2013 Property has some issues. Missing window screens, ceiling panels out of place, Direct TV not working. Good location, great view. Worked well for 4 adults and 1 child.

Bellview Review from Smith-Ferri familyDavid S. from Ukiah, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in January, 2013 We love staying at Irish Beach, and Bellview is becoming one of our favorite properties. We like the layout of the house and the decks, the comfort of the beds, sunshine in the kitchen in the morning, the sound of the ocean and the comfort of the hot tub at night.

A Lot of Fog, but nice and cool - A Relief from the Valley Heat!A guest from Rancho Murieta, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2012 The home was located high enough to give an ocean view...lots of trees, very quiet and comfortable. Beds are not overly comfortable and there is no wi-fi and if there is a lighthouse view, its probably with the telescope on a very clear day! However, we would rent this great place again..beach is great! Appliances were in good working order, except new remotes for the upstairs TV and media would be a good idea.

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Oh darn that fog! Whenever it heats up in the Valley it keeps the marine layer right on top of the Coast. The Fall is our best weather months. Hope to see you again!

beautiful nature sotJoy M. from Martinez, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in July, 2012 A great quiet spot with a great view of the ocean and lighthouse, a great deck to also view the wildlife, relaxing and comfortable.

Very quaint little house. Nice view of lighthouse and ocean!Kathleen T. from Foresthill, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in May, 2012 House is perfect for 6 people. Very comfortable. The BBQ is completely shot. The elements are rusted beyond use. When we told the man at the rental agency about it, he asked if we even checked to see if there was propane. At $200 bucks a night, I don't think thats our responsibility. The hot tub is very nice, double deck is a plus! Appliances are like new...beds are very comfy. This is our 5th time renting from Irish Beach agency, and will do so again!!

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency Hi Kathleen, Oh Boy - You are so very right!! The Boss should've been much more supportive and I will chastise him shortly on your behalf. Our sincere apologies. Thank you for letting us know about the bbq. The Coastal weather causes almost everything to rust. We have sinced purchased a brand new bbq. Thank you and hope to see you again. Happy Monday! Kim

Get a way to BellviewSydney W. from Carmichael, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2012 What a great stay at Bellview!! Fabulous two level deck with lots of room to spread out and enjoy the view. Upper level deck has a hot tub. The house is surrounded on 3 sides by beautiful manzanita pines. A vew of the ocean and Point Arena lighthouse. Inside is very open, with a loft upstairs with games, chess set to play. Overalll a wonderful place!!

A good time.Kent R. from Napa, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in March, 2012 We had a lot of problems getting up the drivewat when wet. Our Prius may have added to the problem because of being so light. But it took 7 tries to get up to the main rd. due to the potholes in the driveway. The fireplace needs to be secured as it fell out when unloading the fire box that was too full to start a fire. The stairs to the loft roon are very steep and the treads are way too small for the "steepness". Someone will fall if left as is. Have a few things like batteries on hand as the remotes all needed replacement. Over-all enjoyed our stay and would return, just get the stairs redone for the renters and owners sake!

Average, could use some upgradesReviewed by: Gregory G. recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2011 Fireplace was inoperative upon arrival, repaired the afternoon before departure. Paid extra fee for Spa but water was not properly treated. Furniture was ripped and stuffing coming out

The BellviewKaren B. from Spring, Texas recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in September, 2011 I enjoy the Bellview. The views of the ocean were more than I expected. The hot tub was a lovely experience. I was here for my daughters wedding and the house was a perfect place to rest before the big day.

Property Manager Response:Response from Irish Beach Rental Agency I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again next year.

Abalone Diver's DelightDustin M. from El Cajon, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2011 I've stayed at homes within the Irish Beach community 5 or 6 times now. The Bellview is the property that caters to my needs as a Mendocino abalone diver better than anywhere else I could find. Two huge patio deck spaces allows for gear to be rinsed and organized each day before and after diving. The jacuzzi tub is the perfect follow-up for a four-hour dive in sub-50 degree water. The 3-bedrooms and couch space can easily accomodate 4-6 divers comfortably. Two grills on the patio (propane and charcoal) add dimension to preparing abalone and fish. Chopping/pounding block on wheels allows us to roll it outside and enjoy the mountain air while tenderizing the catch. I have stayed here on family trips too. Adults and kids both found it the perfect place to call home after a long day of excursions. A woodburner with plenty of wood stock gave us extra special evenings relaxing on the couch with the family. Most all my trips have a small budget. The Bellview rates are as good as it gets. I'll be back soon. Thanks again Irish Beach!

A great value and viewA guest from Auburn, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in July, 2011 This is a nice house with a good layout for a vacation home. Watching whales from the deck was a great plus. We thought the cost of the rental was very fair and the cleaning service made for an easy departure. Having access to the beach area is a nice plus as well. Overall we would recommend this property for people looking to have a relaxing time at the coast.

BellviewJoseph R. from Elk Grove, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 12 days in May, 2011 There was a smell coming from a wall in the first floor bathroom; the TV in the loft did not work; the driveway is in a deplorable condition; upstairs bedroom got hot. Maintenance man came, but unable to fix problems. House needs a good overhaull,i.e, paint, new carpeting, screens on windows. Good quiet location, great view, near pond.Probably not rent again unless it is fixed up.

A guest from crockett, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2010 the house has a very musty smell. especially in the bathroom where there are no air vents. the fireplace is not secured to the wall and could easily come out. It is defintally a fire hazard. I would rent from the property managment again. Defintally not this house.

very nice but needs some improvementDestiny A. from Santa Rosa, CA. recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2010 our hottub was dirty and cloudy and even after telling the management they did come and put chemicals in it it still didnt fix the problem and two of our friends got rashes from it and we never got to enjoy the hottub for the rest of the trip. the other thing i would say is that their is never anyone in the office i stopped by several times to buy a sweatshirt and there was never anyone in there but the door was open.

Markus U. from Modesto, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in December, 2009 The Bellview house is a great bargain. You may not be on the bluff or meadow, but the house is comfortable and peaceful. On a sunny day you have a good view of the Point Arena lighthouse and the ocean while you enjoy the hot tub.

We used to stay here and rent directly from the owners. The property is inan advanced state of disrepair and appliances don't wBill R. from West Sacramento, CA does not recommend this property.

A guest from Citrus Heights, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2009 We have stayed at Bellview before mainly because it is within our budget and it is dog friendly. This time however it did not seem as clean as in the past. Some of the dishes needed to be rewashed, the table needed wiping down, and there is a very fowl odor in the downstairs bathroom-near the lightswitch (best we could figure out.)

Great house for a family vacation.David and Lisa G. from Modesto, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 10 days in July, 2009 The house is one of the least expensive of those offered at Irish Beach and yet was tremendously practical for a family. The house is very comfortable and set-up in a very practical sense. If you are looking for a posh executive retreat with a view overlooking the ocean, this is not the house for you. We brought our three teenagers with us, each with their best friend, so we used the 8 person sleeping capacity available in this house and it worked out great. With a loft and a bedroom upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, everybody had a place to retreat to and sleep. Yet the downstairs living room and dining area are all one, like a great room, so great for everybody enjoying the evening together. The house does have a view of the ocean from the second story deck and is located in the canyon part of the Irish Beach development, so that you also are in among forest; the best of both sea and forest; an unforeseen benefit prior to our arriving there. The location is secluded and yet not, with four neighbor homes within 100 feet or so spread across the canyon, all with views of the ocean. Lots of wildlife can be seen there. We had deer feeding with fawns around the property in the morning and evening, LOTS of hummingbirds feeding on the Hot Poker plants planted at a house nearby, and we even saw chipmunks, the first that I can remember seeing anywhere outside of the Sierras. There were also plenty of gray tree squirrels and about 20 buzzards sleeping each evening in a large pine tree across the canyon from us.The only drawback was that the downstairs bathroom had an odor the entire time that seemed to be coming up the washbasin drain, probably due to a septic tank problem or due to a plugged up riser pipe connected from the waste pipe line up to the roof to vent off fumes. These pipes sometimes get plugged up due to wildlife dropping stuff down the pipes or just detritus from the surrounding forest trees falling in.

BellviewLori C. from Moorhead, MN does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2009 We were so excited about the website words on the beach, what a joke. The beach was horrible, giant kelp or seaonions everywhere, was a dirty beach! The house was nice, the downstairs smelt like urine so bad we all almost puked everytime we went in. The dishwasher broke the first night, I called and he never offered to send someone to fix it, it is not vacation if you do dishes, sorry.

Guillermo R. from Santa Rosa, CA. recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in April, 2009 Overall the property worked OK for us. It was a bit dangerous especially at night however, without adequate outside lighting. The driveway is slippery and at a very steep angle from the road. Two people slipped. It was convenient for us, in that it was close to our house.Thank you,Guillermo & Stephanie

A guest from Citrus Heights, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2009 The six of us had a great time and appreciated being able to bring pets. The only problem we noticed was that the dishes were not very clean when we arrived. Other than that, everything else was great!

A guest from Santa Clara, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 2 days in December, 2008 There was some kind of leak in the kitchen sink. Lighting should be added to the kitchen and living room area. Actually, use of light switches rather than lamps would help. The kitchen utensils were a bit old. The satellite remote was not working. I did like the open space plan from the loft to the other areas.

Wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at Irish BeachBert D. from Cupertino, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in November, 2008 The Bellview house was warm and cozy, the kitchen well stocked with lots of pots and pans for making a great Thanksgiving Dinner.

Enjoyable rental house, spectacular coastal sceneryA guest from Grass Valley, CA. recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in October, 2008 We had a very enjoyable vacation at our Irish beach rental. Great views of the ocean and a hot tub for soaking in. The property we stayed at allowed us to bring our dog, which is cool. The subdivision the house is located in had a lot of deer, jackrabbits, timber-tigers, quail, raccoons and other critters around and a short little trail we could walk the dog on. I was under the impression that the beach was within walking distance 10 minutes away and there were woods or open area close by, ( that was important to us because of the dog). That was not the case. Its about 10 minutes by car down a very steep hill to the beach.( I would guess 40 minutes or so to walk from the beach to our rental) However the beach was fantastic and most days there were very few other people there and we could unleash the dog for play time. The last thing: Do not drive mountain view road. Ask the property managment team for better routes.

disappointedNicole S. from Davis, does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2008 We don't get to go on family vacations very often but when we do- we go the the Somona or Mendocino Coast. This year, we were able to book a late rental at Irish Beach because we received our rebate check. Our primary goal was to get a place near the beach with a hot tub. We stayed at Irish Beach last year and had a great experience so we booked there again. When we arrived late, the hot tub was broken. We were not told this when we booked. The contract said if something was broken, it would be fixed or we would be moved to a suitable location. When we called at 8 am our first morning, we were told there were no other places available and that someone would be out within the hour to turn on the hottub because it worked but got too hot so we had to monitor it. We waited 2 hours and called again. The person at the desk sounded annoyed and said the hot tub guy would get there when he got to us. I sent my family to the beach and waited until 2 pm before giving up (after calling and getting no answer). When my wife went in that afternoon, the man said he thought it was taken care of because we hadn't called. He then called the hot tub guy who apparently took a nap instead of helping us out. They went and turned the hot tub on but it never did work the rest of the time (it got up to 81 degrees after running for 8 hours on Fri. and again on Sat.). In addition, it smelled like the sheets had been washed with a dog towel the first night we were there (we washed them the next day). The barbecue gas container was nearly empty so we couldn't slow cook our ribs on the grill. In the end, we were told we would not have to pay our hot tub fee and that we would get a rebate of $35 dollars a day. I'm not sure if that will get done because we paid already and it frankly have no confidence in anything that we were told by the property manager and getting what we paid for would have been worth so much more than that any money returned.
